Hello and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings in the spotlight and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). I'm currently ninth overall out of 130 rankers on FantasyPros after finishing ninth for the 2017 season, so I'd like to think I've earned some street cred here. #Consistency. You take the […]

Week 13 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Bye weeks are over. The fantasy playoffs are just around the corner. This crunch time for you, readers, and one goal of crunch time is to avoid making any egregious mistakes. Sure, some dudes are matchup-proof, but a lot of others aren't. Sadly, we have to say goodbye to one of the mainstays of this […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 13

Week 13 will have the biggest abundance of under-the-radar booms and busts for fantasy football since the first month of the season. The NFL schedule is kind to fantasy players from here on out. There are no more byes for any teams for the remainder of the season. If your fantasy squad is shorthanded, it […]

Gus Edwards Likely To Play In Week 13

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (ankle) should be good to go against the Falcons on Sunday. The rookie had surprisingly emerged as the lead back in Week 11 and has since run for 233 yards and a score off of 40 attempts over the past few weeks. With the Ravens focused heavily on the […]

Week 13 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The Washington Redskins (6-5) head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (5-6) Monday night, and though the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles still appear hungover, while the Redskins optics went down the drain with Alex Smith, this game still provides a surprisingly ample level of intrigue. For starters, the result looms heavy over crowning […]

Marlon Mack Expected To Play Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (concussion), who is questionable for Week 13 against the Jaguars, is expected to play, according to a source. Mack was able to practice this week, so he was expected to suit up, barring a setback. He has become the team's unquestioned lead back and has RB2 appeal against Jacksonville […]

Kareem Hunt Facing Six-Game Suspension For Next Year

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is expected to face a six-game suspension heading into the 2019 season. The NFL continues to investigate Hunt's incident in February of this year in which he was seen shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel. He's on the commissioner's exempt list and is currently on waivers. The […]

LeSean McCoy Is A Solid Flex Play

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy will look to continue to see an RB1 workload against the Dolphins in Week 13. The 10th-year pro, in the midst of the worst season of his career, has recorded at least 14 touches in each of his last seven games. He has totaled 90 or more yards from […]

C.J. Prosise's Season Is Over

The Seattle Seahawks placed running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, ending his season. Prosise just hasn't been able to stay healthy in his career and will end the 2018 season with just one carry for minus-three yards and three catches for 22 yards in five games for Seattle. He's still only […]

Chris Thompson Taken Off Injury Report

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (rib) practiced in full this week and was taken off the final Week 13 injury report for Monday night against the Eagles. Thompson hasn't played since Oct. 28 and has just one receiving touchdown in his five games played this year. He'll return to his pass-catching role out of […]

Josh Adams, Darren Sproles Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Josh Adams (hip) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are both questionable for Monday night against the Redskins. Adams has become the team's leading back in a committee, but he injured himself in practice on Saturday and is now a real question mark for Monday night. He's now a very risky RB2 choice […]

Lamar Miller Is A Strong Option In Week 13

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller has three 100-yard performances in his past five games and could add to that number on Sunday against a Cleveland team that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Miller has the potential to explode for huge gains, and while the presence of Alfred Blue and […]

Royce Freeman a Touchdown-Dependent Dice Roll

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman has seen just 13 carries since returning from a high ankle sprain in Week 11, and with Phillip Lindsay seemingly taking the starting job by the reigns, Freeman's fantasy value has become tied to his ability to find the end zone. Not recommended, but the Broncos face a Bengals […]

Phillip Lindsay Seeking Third Straight 100-Yard Performance

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay has compiled at least 100 yards from scrimmage in two straight games and three of his last four and draws a Cincinnati Bengals squad in Week 13 who have graciously allowed opposing RBs to pick up 172 scrimmage yards per game this season (third most). He should be in […]

Week 13 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 13 is here with a bang! We are past all the byes and we are back to just having the one game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Saints high flying offense was somewhat lost to the week against a very good Dallas defense. The good news is that other high flying offenses in the […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 13 Preview

The 2018 Fantasy Football Playoffs are almost here but it’s never too early for a sneak peek into 2019, right? There have been several running backs who have helped their draft stock heading into next season, so it’s time to look at guys that will see a significant rise in ADP from this year till […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 13 Fantasy Football Picks

If you're like me, and I pray for your soul that you are not, then you tend to occasionally stray from the logical way of thinking and revert to subjective decision-making processes. For example, I just picked up Carlos Hyde in the RotoBaller Experts League because I have Melvin Gordon and now need to fill […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 13): NFL DFS Lineups

We once again have a quality Sunday slate to look at in Week 13. Unfortunately, we do lose the New Orleans Saints from the slate but with the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams back we receive a big boost in talent. In addition, we have some questionable pass defenses facing each other in […]

Chris Carson Is Still The Primary Back

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson hasn't been tasked with the workload many other primary backs have seen, but he's still clearly the primary choice for Pete Carroll's offense. While Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny have hovered nearby and gotten more than a handful of carries this season, Carson has logged considerably more than both. […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 13 against Buffalo. Gore is normally good for about 15 touches per game, but he isn't involved in the passing game and hasn't scored a rushing touchdown all season. He is a reliable between-the-tackles runner for Miami, but not a high-ceiling option […]

Kenyan Drake A Flex Play In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk flex option in Week 13 against Buffalo. Drake is coming off his best performance of the season, a two-touchdown game against Indianapolis in Week 13. He is getting around 10-13 touches per game as of late, and Drake is explosive enough to make something of those […]

Justin Jackson Could Be A Sleeper

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson certainly hasn't been a desirable name for the majority of this season, but he might become a household one after Sunday night. Jackson surprised last week after starter Melvin Gordon went down, and he hammered his way along for 57 yards on just seven carries. With Gordon […]

Austin Ekeler Starting Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will get his second start of the season this week when he goes against Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Melvin Gordon is sidelined with a knee injury for at least a couple weeks, so Ekeler should get plenty of play in one of the most potent offenses in the […]

Kenneth Dixon Activated From Injured Reserve

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) has been reinstated from the Injured Reserve list. Dixon has been practicing with the team since being designated to return two weeks ago. He was placed on injured reserve after the Ravens' Week 1 victory over the Bills where he totaled a team-high 44 rushing yards. The third-year […]

Alex Collins Placed On Injured Reserve

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) has been placed on Injured Reserve and as a result will miss the rest of the season. He has been listed on the team's injury report the past two weeks and was inactive for last week's contest. Collins finishes a disappointing season with 441 yards on 114 carries […]
